This facility was surprisingly quite given it's proximity to a busy hiway. My room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Definitely a good place to stay for a night or two.

Room was clean, but has never been refurbished for decades. Rust in the bath, brown in the window. There was not enough covers for 4 people, no pan in the kitchenette. However we slept well, the bed was clean and it was quiet at night

6/10 Good

The location is excellent, and the suite size was adequate for our stay. The receptionist wasn't rude, but I didn't find the welcome to be particularly warm or friendly. There was also no body wash provided in the bathroom, which was a bit disappointing. That said, considering the price we paid, it was still good value for the money. Overall, we had a decent stay, and for a budget-friendly option in a great location,

Location was close to where we needed to be for event. Massive confusion with our reservation but staff member took the time to figure things out. Rooms are ok. Flooring and beds were updated but walls need to be painted. Updated furniture would make the rooms more appealing. Old mixed with new look……old stood out.

Location is good near high way. Property was back dated. Window was high and there is no exhaust fan in kitchen area. Police was present outside the property during stay time.

In general it was fine. Staff was friendly, room was clean, good price. Had no issues. If you can’t stand smoking, then it is not a good place for you. Otherwise, good.

The suite that was shown in the pictures had very limited availability and we were given an old not renovated suite that was dirty and smelled. Luckily the staff were good enough to put us in two non Suite rooms that were ok to accommodate the 5 of us. I do not recommend this property if you are looking to get the kitchen suite as I understand the owner keeps that room for themselves…. False advertising
